"Perhaps one day it will spread," Emery said, "And others will learn from our example. At the very least, we'll have planted those seeds." She offered a small smile. "Whatever the case, you will long be remembered."

As he moved up the stairs, she waited several beats to put a respectable amount of distance between them before following after him, and when he posed his question, she nodded even though she knew he couldn't see it. "Understood, sir."

"In the morning, I have been invited to dine with another of the duke's. He's agreed to help fund the hunt for the mage killer who is on the loose," he paused at the top of the steps before continuing to walk forward. "Blaith Harmond. He's the heir of Turgall. Take note of it. You and Zannrick both will be accompanying me to his manor. He is not from Reajh, bu this family does own a small manor in the East. Perhaps we can get some more help and clues from it."
And he approached the end of the way, he paused at the door just as it was opening. Tensing, he placed a hand on the hilt of his sword, but as the door opened further, he realized it was only Zannrick, and he eased up, raising up his chin expectantly.

"The woman has been taken care of." Zannrick said. There only only a few traces of the scuffle in the blood he hadn't noticed or bothered to brush away from his face. He then bowed before the duke and stepped aside, his eyes then going to Emery after Duke Calent walked back into the rain.

Silently, Emery cursed. She was not particularly fond of stuffy political dinners; she was a soldier, she followed orders, took out the enemy, and went home to mend her wounds, sharpen her blades, and drink too much ale. She always felt so awkward in polite, formal company, though she had been through that enough to know what utensils to use and what words to say and how to grin and bear it.

Besides, this wouldn't be just any formal dinner. She could endure it for the information they would gain.

She was about to speak her assent when the door opened, and in an instant her hand was on her sword and she was tensed, prepared to spring forward and put herself between Calent and the intruder if it came to that. But instead, it was only Zannrick.

She let out a breath, and nodded in greeting.

Following Calent out of the tomb and into the rain, she came to a stop and placed a hand on Zannrick's shoulder. "I hope you own a nice, formal set of clothes."

Zannrick's face twisted at the comment. He stared towards the Duke, watching and being careful they had enough distance between them before whispering, "What do you mean?" though his words came out almost like a hiss, nearly lost to the rains.

Emery shot Zannrick a wry grin. "Tomorrow morning we dine with Lord Calent and Lord Harmond of Turgall," she told him. "And after that, we'll be leaving for the mountains, so if your boots need mending I'd take care of that posthaste."

Zannrick scowled.
"Angsar's balls.." though he hoped no one but Emery might be able to hear that. He sighed, shaking his head. "He's always one to entertain. But you've got to play by the book if you're one of them." He gave a sniff, putting his nose to the air. He was certainly glad not to be a duke, let alone the Grand Duke. But he knew where his duty lay. "Seems when the morning clears of this rain, I'll be needing to stop at the tailors for some alterations." And then he looked down at his boots, a frown sagging upon his lips. "And the shoemaker, for some.. mending." He liked to be prepared, he could only hope he'd have the time for it. He's been running around ever since the Grand Duke's death, and rarely leaving Calent's side. He was also relived to find out, since all of this occured, Calent had actually been getting sleep for a change. He wondered if it just lead the man into exhaustion. He knew he'd be more restless with all of this news about rogue mages running about killing people. THe idea of mage camps in the north was a good idea. Though in the same breath, he'd rather just slaughter the lot of them.

"So I suppose you'll be in a dress?" Zannrick asked, just to be snooty. He knew they'd have to dress up, but would be in partial armor. It was the mordecai way. Everyone had to KNOW who they were. And where they hailed from. He was proud to be from Connlaoth, and from the Duchy of Allar, to boot. He would proudly wear those colors this evening.

Emery's smile turned cool and she peered at him from beneath her lashes. "Why? Would you like to see me in one?" she asked.

Not that she thought she could do any dress justice; it would probably just look awkward on her, showing off all her muscles and scars like that. Dresses were for pretty ladies, not soldiers, and she most certainly was not a lady. Nor did she consider herself beautiful. Even if once upon a time she could have been, that puckered slash across her face had taken care of that.

In many ways, however, it was a blessing. It meant she could focus on what mattered without letting silly things like vanity distract her.

Zannrick smirked at her comment, a snorted laugh coming through his nose.
"It would be interesting to see you in a dress. Though I know we'll still need to be in some armor, and with our weapons. So you might be lucky this time." It was here his blue eyes began to sparkle. "Though do not forget. The Grand Duke to be is engaged. We'll have to attend his wedding. Who knows if his tastes might change."

Though even he knew the pair of them would simply be decked out in the more regal of armors to show off the Grand Duke's tastes, and also to show proper respects for such an occasion. And they'd be in similar attire for his ceremony anointing him as the next Grand Duke. Which, he knew, would be happening soon. With all things, it was a process. But this time around, the entire country of Connlaoth was moving with haste to fix the problem and uprisings that came along with them being leaderless. So it would only be a few more weeks before it would be made official.

So as they walked onward, Zannrick took a moment to study Emery. He knew she wasn't like the other formal ladies. It was refreshing. And although Zannrick was mostly unmarred himself, her scar did lend more respect towards her. He'd seen some well to do ladies have a mental fiasco for less.  The upper class were definitely a breed of their own.

Emery's shoulders slouched at that reminder. "Ah yes. The wedding," she said, keeping her voice low so only Zannrick could hear. "Color me ecstatic. All that pomp and fuss...I don't know how people stand it."

The rain had lessened from a downpour to a steady drizzle, and Emery sighed and shook her head to get her sopping bangs out of her face. She had tried hard to remain stoic, but now out of the musty tomb and back into the cool rain, the cold was seeping into her bones and making her shiver. God, but she couldn't wait to get back indoors, out of these clothes, and beneath warm, dry blankets.

"At least they'll have wine," she said, rubbing her arms with her hands. "Lots of wine."

"Yes," Zannrick kept his gaze ever watchful on the duke, a hand always resting near his sword. "Wine seems to be a cure for all." He smirked, said nothing more, but allowed his long legs to carry him nearer towards the duke, keeping quiet for a few moments as the rain drizzled down around them.
"Sir, shall we escort you back to the castle?"

Calent had been silent for most of the walk to the road. The graveyard had been soggy, mud clinging to his boots and clothes. So at the question, he paused as he stood at the edge of the muddy road, removing his gloves and running a hand through his dark hair.
"It might be wise, considering the woman from earlier." His green eyes went to Zannrick, then to Emery. "Once we are at the castle, I'll issue further orders from there. It might not be wise to have either of you leave my sight."

Zannrick nodded, "Understood," And stole a quick glance over to Emery. This was going to be a long night.

"Yes, and I have a feeling we'll be needing a lot of it," Emery said with a smirk, but then it was back to business.

She fell into step with Calent and Zannrick, and met Zannrick's look with a knowing one of her own. Indeed, they would not be getting much sleep tonight, if any at all.

But sleep was just one of the many sacrifices one made in this line of work.

"Understood, sir," she said, and went to her horse, unhitching her and mounting her. Now that business had been taken care of and she had a goal, she felt eager to get back, get out of these cold clothes, and (maybe she was hoping for way too much here) get a bath.

If she was lucky.

A carriage had been waiting, and after Zannrick offered to inspect it and deemed it was safe, he opened the door for the Duke and bowed his head humbly as Calent stepped inside.
It was after he was seated did he pause to take notice of both of his mordecai- one's he had had since the beginning of all of this, and gave a nod along with a sigh.
"Keep close. There are not many you can trust." Calent said.

Zannrick nodded and closed the carriage door, waited for the valet to beckon his horse onward, before going to his own horse and moving beside Emery.

"Do you want the front or rear watch?" he said, almost smiling. There was most certainly nothign to smile about here, except neither watch would be fun. At least the rains were letting up.

Once Calent was safely seen to and Zannrick was on his own horse, Emery could relax again--not that she'd been uncomfortable, and not that Calent made her uneasy. It wasn't that at all. It was just that she didn't need to be all professional when it was just the two of them.

She rubbed her horse's neck soothingly and quietly promised her a warm wipe-down and dry stable when they got back, but looked back up when Zannrick spoke.

A little almost- smile twisted her lips, stretching the scar a little. "Rear, I think," she said, deadpan. "It has the best view." And then, reining her horse back, she let Zannrick go on ahead so she could fall in behind him.

OOC: LOOOOL. The best view of what? 8D
SORRY HAD TO SAY IT LOOOOL

----------------

Zannrick smirked and nodded.
"Very well," and he said no more, pulling on the reins of his horse and leading him towards the front watch. Then once in position, he tossed a glance over to Emery from over his shoulder and nodded, then pressed his boots against the horse's side and pressed him onward. It would be a long journey back, and the pair of them would have to be wary. There was no telling what lurked within the woods....

But thankfully things proved uneventful as the carriage rolled on against the muddy trail, and soon the town was pulling into view. It would only take, perhaps, a half hour more for them to arrive at Calent's home, and Zannrick was growing anxious for a bed and bath. Food be damned, he could eat later. As they crested a hill, he could see the cobblestone roads down the way and peered back at Emery to see how she was fairing, motioning to her to see if all was well.

[ooc: THAT WAS EXACTLY THE INTENT! xDDD]

--------

Catching Zannrick's signal, Emery nodded back to show she was okay. More than okay now, actually; the closer they got to their destination, the higher her spirits rose, eager to get inside and get dry again! It felt as though if she stayed out here any longer, she would shrivel up like a prune. The rain had started up again and she was beginning to feel like a drowned cat, her clothes sticking to her in a tight, uncomfortable, chafing way. Her horse was no happier about this than her, blowing air out her nostrils and flicking her ears in irritation.

Still, they were not out of the woods yet--figuratively speaking, that is--and she kept her ears open and her eyes peeled as they strolled down the hill. She doubted anyone would be so foolish as to make a move here with so many potential witnesses, and yet with the bad weather and poorer visibility, anything was possible.

Flicking the reins, she pulled up closer to Calent, though still remained a little behind. "Anything new and exciting up there?" she called.

And that was when she heard it: hoof-beats.

A chill going through her, she turned in her saddle to look, and that was when she saw the riders coming from the woods--three of them, and gaining fast.

"Zannrick!"

OOC: ANd I lol because Zannrick is such a serious character he would have no idea 8D

At her cry, Zannrick whirled around and noted the hooded horse men racing their way. Zannrick's eyes widened at the sight, then narrowed as he bared his teeth, clutched onto the reins and pressed his boots heavily into his horse's side.

"We're under attack! Draw your weapons and defend the duke!" he shouted. And at the outburst, Calent peered out the window, just as two of the men came up to surround Emery, blades drawn and ready to cut down her and her horse, while the third rider rushed towards the carriage.

"Oh no you don't!" Zannrick growled and charged him, blade at the ready as steel slapped against steel.

[ooc: No worries! xD And ahahahaha, poor Zannrick. xD]

-----

Emery had her sword out when the men came upon her and though the riders had numbers, they were obviously less experienced. Whirling her horse around, she deflected one blow and struck fast, getting the rider right in the space between shoulder and collarbone. His sword dropped from a suddenly useless hand as, with a yell of pain, his arm went slack.

And in that small  breath of a moment, the other rider that had attacked her slipped past to go after Zannrick.

"Watch your back!" Emery yelled, digging her heels in and wheeling around to go after the rider.

Zannrick's blade smacked against the first attacker's sword with a hot and heavy swing, but at Emery's cry, he let out a cry of his own, roaring as he turned around and thrust his blade out, grating it against the first attacker's to swing it back behind himself just in time to deflect the blade aiming for the back of his neck from the man who now approached.  Growling, he pressed he blade froward, before striking it away and slashing again, but it was evident he was having some difficulty fighting men on both sides as his horse danced uneasily beneath him.

Zannrick was struggling, as anyone would be with two armed riders taking them from both sides.

Catching up, Emery swept her blade for the rider to Zannrick's left, forcing him to leave off from Zannrick and focus entirely on her.

"Go on without us, sir!" Emery shouted to the carriage, though she wasn't sure they would hear. Her horse stepped uneasily as the attacker deflected her blade and slipped beneath it with a thrust for her ribs, and it was only quick thinking that saved her as she swung her blade down to parry. The rider she'd taken had been less experienced, maybe, but this one actually knew what he was doing.

Now having only one man to fight, Zannrick focused all of his power to his sword, batting it away with heavy long and angered swings.
"I'll tear you apart for attempting such treasonous acts!" Zannrick spat, steel swords smacking to steel swords, before finally he over came the man and sunk the blade deep within his chest. The man gargled on his own blood, before Zannrick pushed him off of his blade and allowed the man to fall as a corpse off of his horse. Spotting Emery, he drew out a dagger, aiming towards the man's lower back and chucked it at him, hoping to hit his mark.
